one thing i've seen from virtually every anti- @IlhanMN democrat i've interacted with is that when i defend ilhan or call out antone, is the response: "why can't ilhan's supporters talk about her record? why won't ilhan debate the issues."
here's a thread about the issues.
here's a thread about the issues.
ilhan has been in congress for *18 months.* in that time, she has introduced 48 bills and amendments. she has passed 17 of them. and one of those bills, the MEALS act, which is providing more than 20 million children with federally subsidized school meals during COVID, is now law
she leads the minnesota congressional delegation in amendments passed and legislation introduced, and she helped ensure minnesota's liberian community got federal protection from deportation.
lots of ppl like this are just lying. "thin record of achievement" ok.

ilhan's also returned nearly $500,000 to constituents through the more than 800 casework cases she's resolved.
she founded the Black Maternal Health Caucus and the Emergency Taskforce on Black Youth Suicide and Mental Health.
she's whip of the @USProgressives caucus.

a caucus that @Antone_MN won't commit to joining, by the way.
she's also one of the few members of congress in either party to sit on three committees, and one of the only freshmen in congress to have a bill enacted into law.
while more than 200 members of congress didn't talk to their constituents at all in 2019, ilhan has held more than 2 dozen town halls, even though her & her families' lives were threatened.
that's why she won @townhallproject's Profile in Courage Award. https://twitter.com/townhallproject/status/1217865463964655617?s=20

during the pandemic, ilhan turned her DO into a rapid response center to provide support to her constituents. and after the uprisings in minneapolis, she helped raise more than $300,000 for local organizations, and delivered more than *20 tons* of food to distribution sites
